Avengers: Endgame trailer breaks record for most views in 24 hours

Avengers: Endgame has already broken a huge record.

The trailer for the film – a sequel to the $2 billion-grossing Avengers: Infinity War – has the most-watched trailer of all time within a 24 hour time period across its platforms, picking up a staggering 289 million views.

“To the greatest fans in the world, thank you for being there from the beginning until the endgame and making this the most viewed trailer in history with 289M views in 24 hours!” Marvel Studios tweeted.

The record was previously held by the first official trailer for Infinity War, which managed 230 million views in 24 hours. Before then, the recent adaptation of Stephen King’s It held the record.

1/15 Battle Worn

Thanos punched a nice big hole in Iron Man’s helmet when we last saw the two of them, so here’s a reminder that things are going not great.

2/15 Stranded

Tony’s now adrift in space, with his food and water running out. He’s leaving a final message for Pepper Potts. I think we can safely assume he’s going to get out of this situation, unless Marvel are really going to give their banner hero such a genuinely depressing death scene.

3/15 Alone

At least he managed to find a way off that planet he was stuck on, borrowing the Guardians’s ship to make a clean getaway. It’s OK, Star Lord won’t miss it, considering he’s just a pile of ash now.

4/15 Peace

Thanos gets to relax now, presumably. He’s completed his self-appointed mission, hoisted the armour off, and now just gets to brush his hand through fields of wheat.

5/15 Aftermath

A shot of the Avengers headquarters. Now that 50% of the population doesn’t exist anymore, at least there’ll be plenty of parking spaces.

6/15 Hopelessness

Black Widow there, reminding us of the facts. Yes, 50% of all living creatures are gone, so it’s time for a conference meeting about it.

7/15 Death

A list of the fallen: Ant-Man, Spider-Man, and Shuri are all gone. The last one will come as a surprise, since her fate was left unconfirmed at the end of Infinity War.

8/15 Devestation

Nothing much to add here, but look how sad Thor looks.

9/15 Despair

And Nebula! She looks especially sad, considering the only Guardian left is Rocket Raccoon, and he’s not much of a travel buddy.

10/15 Blade Runner

A mysterious figure stands in the middle of a Japanese city, unsheathing their blade.

11/15 Ronin

It’s Hawkeye, who’s finally letting us in on where he’s been all this time. Becoming Ronin, apparently, which is an alias used by several characters in the Marvel Comics universe. The term “Ronin” refers to the Japanese word for a masterless samurai or lone warrior.

12/15 Longing

This picture of Peggy could hint at what’s been a rumoured end for Captain America: that, somehow, whether through the Quantum Realm or not, he’ll be sent back to the 1940s to live out his days with his great love.

13/15 A Plan

Black Widow’s line of, “this is gonna work Steve”, suggests there is a way to bring back those who have been snapped. Our guess is that it might have to do with the unexpected arrival at the end of the trailer…

14/15 Hope

… one Scott Lang AKA Ant-Man, who, last we saw, was trapped in the Quantum Realm with no way out. What if he saw something while he was in there that could reverse the snap and save the day?

15/15 A Title

There we go… Avengers: End Game. Which, actually, comes from a line Doctor Strange uttered at the end of Infinity War.

Avengers: Endgame – which remained untitled until the trailer was released – features an incredible cast of Marvel’s most beloved superheroes.

The trailer prominently features Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man, Chris Evans’s Captain America and Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man. You can read The Independent’s shot-by-shot breakdown of the trailer here.
